Why DiskMaker 8?

I've always been frustrated by 8-bit Apple II programs that have a great idea
combined with a terrible user interface. Equally frustrating is that
often similar 16-bit Apple IIgs programs have very nice interfaces.
Current 8-bit Apple II disk image utilities require you to memorize
a prefix, file names and destination while being absolutely unforgiving if
you make a mistake. After seeing the ease of use of Sheppy's Apple
IIgs disk image utility, DiskMaker, I figured that there was no reason a
similar program couldn't be done for the 8-bit Apple II's. Armed with my
copy of ORCA/M I decided to do it.

DiskMaker 8 is the result of a 17 month spare time project. Written in
65c02 assembly and comprising 13,686 lines of code, it is my first fairly large
program of this nature. It has been a lot of hard work but at the same
time a lot of fun. I've learned a lot in the process. I hope
you enjoy using it as much as I have had bringing it to you.
